He finished with a Gallup poll approval rating of 65%, higher than that of every other departing president measured since Harry Truman. As he was leaving office, a CNN/USA TODAY/Gallup poll revealed 45% said they'd miss him.

Trump: Did not win the popular vote, Mrs. Clinton did. Trump's approval rating never hit the 50% mark.

Quote:

Americans' approval of the job Donald Trump is doing as president, from 2017 to 2021. High point was 49%, reached several times in 2020; low point was 34% in 2021. Trump's average approval rating during his presidency was 41%.

Another interesting info on Bill Clinton.

Quote:

Through the ages, the Presidents Club has seen its share of rivalries, alliances, even some true friendships. But no relationship is quite like the bond between George H. W. Bush and the man who defeated him in 1992. The connection surprised both men, and astonished many of their longtime aides. Bush would go so far as to suggest more than once that he might be the father that the Bill Clinton had always lacked—a notion that the younger man did not dispute. And if the closeness of the relationship surprised people, so did its origin: it was Bush’s actual son who made it happen.

You entirely miss it.
The same people who rightly shout at Trump re moral turpitude, meekly make excuses for Clinton.

False equivalency is false equivalency, Dondi but you keep those blinders screwed down tight, friend.

There is no comparison...except in the minds of racists, idiots, and/or financial oportunistic MAGAts. Clinton is a bad husband, but a pretty good president. Trump is a bad husband and the Trump administration was a criminal enterprise.

On Bill's dalliances, weren't they consensual in nature? Not that I'm condoning them but that's a bit apart from ol' "grab 'em by the pussy" tRump.

Bill was/is (who can say) a hound. Like a horney teenager who had trouble deciding which was more important...commander in chief of the most powerful nation on earth or...blowjob.

But his actual dalliances appear to have been consensual. Several witnesses close to Kathleen Willey and Paula Jones have stated that the two women described their encounter with Clinton as consensual. In her testimony before the Starr investigation, Linda Tripp stated that "Kathleen chased him all over DC." Clinton has admitted extramarital relationships with Monica Lewinsky and Gennifer Flowers, both of which have generally been accepted as consensual.

And then there was Monica utilizing one of Bill's cigars as a...uh sexual device while Yasser Arafat was kept waiting in a nearby meeting room.

Sounds pretty consensual to me.

Bill was among the most successful presidents of my lifetime. Trump was worse than Nixon, and Nixon committed treason against this country during wartime for christ's sake. Nixon never attempted to violently reverse a presidential election.

And then Trump is found in a civil verdict to have committed a sexual assault. Which D has decided is no different from Monica toying with Bill's cigar.

Trump on North Korea dictator Kim Jong Un: "He speaks and his people sit up in attention. I want my people to do the same."

So our Dear Leader wants to turn the USA into North Korea. And Republicans seem OK with that. WTF?
